Full-Service Basement Waterproofing Solutions
Interior Waterpoofing System
Water that gets into a basement through the walls or floor doesn’t always mean the outside of your foundation needs to be excavated. Interior waterproofing systems manage water after it enters the wall assembly, channeling it into a drainage system before it reaches your floor.
Wall Crack Repairs
Cracks in poured concrete walls are one of the most common entry points for water in Triad homes. Depending on the type and location of the crack, the right fix may be a waterproof coating system applied to the interior wall surface, or both.
Exterior Waterproofing
Exterior waterproofing addresses water before it ever reaches your foundation wall by excavating around the perimeter, applying a waterproof membrane directly to the outside of the foundation, and installing drainage board and footing drains to redirect groundwater away from the structure.

What’s Affecting Your Hickory Foundation
Hickory sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, so the terrain is very different from the flatter Piedmont cities to the east. On flat ground, rainwater tends to spread out and soak in slowly. On a slope, it moves faster and gathers strength, often heading straight toward whatever is downhill.
In a lot of Hickory neighborhoods, that means the house itself. That extra pressure can push harder against basement walls than the same rainfall would on level ground, especially during the kind of steady storms the foothills often get.
Hickory grew from a 19th-century railroad trading post into a manufacturing town built on furniture, hosiery, and textiles, and a lot of the homes in neighborhoods like Highland and Kenworth were built during that earlier period, before modern grading and waterproofing standards existed. Viewmont has a mix of older and newer construction, so the risk depends on where the home sits and how the lot was originally graded.
Signs to watch for in a Hickory basement:
- A damp smell or slight moisture on the walls after heavy rain.
- White, chalky residue on basement walls.
- Standing water on the floor during or after storms.
- A musty smell that does not go away between rains.
If you’re noticing several of these signs in your home, it means water is getting in somewhere, and the sooner you find the source, the easier the fix usually is.

Basement Waterproofing Questions Hickory Homeowners Ask
Why does my Hickory basement flood more after storms than it used to?
Sloped terrain common in the foothills can mean water moves faster and picks up more volume than it would on flatter ground, especially during heavy or sustained rain. If flooding has gotten worse over time, it’s often a sign that existing drainage isn’t keeping up anymore, worth having assessed before the next storm.
